Chapter 302 0299 [The cement is made]
The two of them had just praised the magistrate of Suqian County, but unexpectedly they turned around and saw this scene.
However, Xu Cun and Liu Mianzhi are not ordinary people. They will not jump to conclusions easily before they understand the whole story.
The official was about to turn around and go in. When he saw two more people in Confucian robes approaching, he immediately said in a cold voice: "If you don't leave quickly, it will be too late to regret when Miki comes."
Xu Cun cupped his hands and said, "I am Xu Cun. I was invited by Xie Ding to serve here."
"Mr. Yiping?"
The supplementary official had obviously received the news from Siyang, and immediately changed his attitude and said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, please come in quickly, the county magistrate has been waiting for a long time."
After reporting their identities, the two followed the replacement officer all the way to the county government hall.
"Finally we have two gentlemen here."
As soon as he entered the hall, the county magistrate Li Lei greeted him with a smile.
He was originally the County Supervisor. Because of his meritorious service in killing officials and opening up the city, he was temporarily appointed as the County Magistrate.
Therefore, he is not a scholar. The reason why he is so enthusiastic is not because of Xu Cun's reputation, but because Xu Cun is very likely to become his superior.
"I've met the magistrate."
Xu Cun and Liu Mianzhi bowed their hands in greeting.
Li Lei greeted: "Two gentlemen, please sit down quickly."
After the two parties exchanged a few words, Xu Cun couldn't help but ask: "Just now I saw many gentry and wealthy people gathered in front of the county government office. It seemed that the crowd was in a rage, but what grievances are there?"
"injustice?"
Li Lei sneered: "The county magistrate implements the national policy of dividing a small family into an equal share, and the interests of these large gentry families will be harmed, so naturally they are not willing to do so."
"Why do you mean sharing an acre with a small family?"
Liu Mianzhi said curiously.
Li Lei explained: "The so-called sharing a ding into an acre refers to the tax reform, which abolished the original ding and unified it into land tax. Those with more land will pay more, those with less land will pay less, and those without land will not pay. "
Hearing this, Xu Cun and Liu Mianzhi suddenly looked surprised.
If according to the previous tax system, land tax was collected on a per capita basis, and the number of adult males in the family would be paid according to the number of cents.
The large gentry families had large amounts of land, often tens of thousands of acres, but they only had three or five adult men at most. Calculated at 320 ding per person, their annual land tax was only one or two kuan, no different from ordinary people.
In addition, the same is true for corvee labor.
But now after the restructuring, the calculation is not based on head count, but based on the amount of land under one's name.
These large gentry families had a lot of land under their names, and the land taxes they paid every year were dozens or hundreds of times more than before. Naturally, they were unwilling to do so.
Xu Cun's eyes lit up: "It's really a strategy to strengthen a country by sharing a small family with an entire family!"
In the past, people did not dare to have more children, partly because their families were poor and could not afford to raise so many children.
On the other hand, it is a small amount of money.
Once a man reaches adulthood, his family will have to pay an extra sum of money every year. 320 yuan may not seem like much, but for poor people, it is very likely to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
After the implementation of the shareholding system, the burden on the people has dropped sharply. It can be predicted that the population of Shandong will experience explosive growth in a few years.
Li Lei said: "It is a policy to benefit the country and the people by spreading the land among the peasants. I hate that the big gentry families usually embezzle the people's land, make loan sharks, and make a lot of money. But now they are unwilling to pay more taxes and surround them all day long. He was causing trouble in the county government office. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I ordered Zao Ban to beat him up and leave."
"Good fight!"
After figuring this out, Liu Mianzhi applauded the case.
Previously, he had some sympathy for the wealthy gentry who were beaten, but now that he learned the inside story, he just felt extremely relieved.
Li Lei added: "I have been merciful enough. There is a killing spree in Xuzhou and Yizhou. If you dare to obstruct it, your family will be confiscated and your clan will be destroyed!"
When he heard about the confiscation of the family and the extermination of the clan, Xu Cun couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you so impatient? You can use spring breeze to turn rain into rain and push forward slowly. In just a few years, under the general trend of Huanghuang, the big gentry will finally have to accept it."
Li Lei shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Yiping thinks that the wealthy gentry are too kind. Just a few days ago, the wealthy gentry in Xiapi County secretly colluded, incited the people, and led the servants to attack the county government. Fortunately, the Qingzhou Army Timely suppression prevented a major disaster."
"..."
Xu Cun was silent for a while.
At this moment, a supplementary official hurriedly walked into the lobby and reported: "The county magistrate and several landowners in Yugou Town jointly made trouble and boycotted the supplementary official's measurement of their fields."
After hearing this, Li Lei stood up and said: "I still have official business to deal with. The two gentlemen are temporarily staying in the post. Tomorrow, the Japanese official will arrange manpower to escort the two gentlemen to Yidu."
"I bid farewell."
Seeing that the other party had official business, Xu Cun and Xu Cun stood up and left.
On the second day, escorted by a group of Qingzhou Army soldiers, Xu Cun and Liu Mianzhi went north to Qingzhou and headed towards Yidu.
……
……
In the Song Dynasty, people were paid more attention to care and burial.
After death, there was only a thin coffin, and the burial items were extremely simple. Even the high-ranking officials in the court were just a few more stone figures.
Compared with the extravagance of the previous dynasty, the tombs of the Song Dynasty were much simpler.
This is a good point, and Han Zhen thinks it can be highly praised.
The Han family has no ancestral graves, or he doesn't know where the ancestral graves are.
According to the memory in his mind, his father vaguely said that the Han family migrated from somewhere else.
Whether it was Hebei or Shanxi, he couldn't remember clearly, and he didn't have the time to trace the source.
There is no genealogy, how can I find it?
If he publicly searches for his ancestors, a large group of 'tribesmen' will probably appear in Shandong immediately.
Knowing that he was coming back to worship his ancestors, Liu Yong was ready to make a big deal, but Han Zhen vetoed it.
He only took Zhao Fujin and a few personal guards with him and performed a simple worship ceremony.If you want to worship your ancestors, that's all.
The graves of my parents and eldest brother are on the hillside on the west side of Xiaodong Village. The three graves are covered with lush green grass.
Han Zhen threw the paper figures and paper money into the fire. The raging fire made his eyes sore.
"Father, mother, brother, I'm back to see you."
Looking at the fire, Han Zhen spoke slowly.
When he traveled through time and space, his parents in this time and space had already passed away and had no intersection. If it weren't for the memories of the two old people deep in his mind, he wouldn't even know what his parents looked like, so naturally he wouldn't have much affection for them.
At this time, he was more talking to his parents in future generations.
"Now that I'm married, I'm living pretty well."
Han Zhen turned around and said, "Fu Jin, come see my parents."
Zhao Fujin took a step forward, said a blessing to the grave bag, and said softly: "My daughter-in-law has met the old man and the mother-in-law."
Han Zhen murmured to himself: "My children are unfilial and cannot provide for you in your old age. I wish you a good life in another world."
Zhao Fujin did not hear the implication of his words, and only thought that another world referred to Jiuquan Benxia.
The paper figures and paper money burned very quickly. A moment ago it was still a blazing fire, but in the blink of an eye there was only a pile of embers left.
Covering the embers with soil to prevent wildfires, Han Zhen ordered: "Let's go."
For more than half a year, the changes in Xiaodong Village made Han Zhen feel a little strange. The population and fields in the village increased sharply.
Since he encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland, the people under his rule have worked hard, and all the places that can be cultivated have been reclaimed into fields.
Zhao Fujin looked curiously at the plants and trees in the village below: "Did your husband grow up here when he was a child?"
"Yes!"
Han Zhen smiled and nodded.
At the foot of the mountain, Fu Qingyi and her three daughters were picking wild vegetables with bamboo baskets in their hands.
As concubines, they were not qualified to worship their ancestors.
However, Mrs. Han and Zhang had a big belly, and the long journey was not good for the fetus, so she stayed in Yidu, while An Niang stayed with her at home.
Seeing them coming down from the mountain, the three little girls immediately came forward and chattered to show off their results.
Jiang Suyi raised her pretty face and said with a smile: "Honey, sir, I picked a lot of mushrooms. These mushrooms are brightly colored, and I think they must taste very delicious."
Glancing at the colorful mushrooms in the bamboo basket, Han Zhen's eyes twitched.
Lao Jiu turned his head and shrugged his shoulders.
Fu Qingyi on the side looked helpless and said: "I said it was poisonous, but Su Yi didn't believe it."
Jiang Suyi retorted: "How can you, a southerner, recognize mushrooms from the North?"
"..."
Fu Qingyi couldn't help but be speechless, and was speechless for a moment.
Han Zhen looked strange and said: "Suyi, have you ever thought about why no villagers picked these mushrooms at the foot of the mountain outside the village?"
"Okay."
Jiang Suyi poured out the mushrooms in the bamboo basket reluctantly.
In comparison, the wild vegetables picked by Fu Qingyi are much more reliable.
A group of people came to the village, and Liu Yong, who had been waiting for a long time, came up with a group of supplementary officials.
Liu Yong suggested: "County Magistrate, do you need to fence this hilltop to prevent the people in the village from disturbing the ancestors?"
Han Zhen waved his hand: "No, this mountain is where Xiaodong Village cuts firewood and digs wild vegetables. If it is enclosed, the people in the village who want to cut firewood will have to detour several miles away, which is quite inconvenient. Mark a line around the tomb An area of ten feet is enough.”
Liu Yong flattered him: "The county magistrate loves his people like his own son, and the humble ministers admire him."
"piss off."
Han Zhen kicked him in the butt.
"hey-hey."
After being kicked, Liu Yong smiled happily, which showed that Han Zhen still regarded him as a brother and did not become angry.
On the way back to the county town, Liu Yong seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, a person came from Xiaowang Town a few days ago. His name is Shilu Jiu. He said that there has been some progress in the lime kiln. I was thinking about you during the Cold Food Festival." I will definitely come back to worship my ancestors, so I didn’t report it.”
"Lime kiln?"
Han Zhen's eyes lit up and he ordered: "Send someone to Xiaowang Town and bring Lu Jiu to see me!"
"it is good."
When Liu Yong saw this, he didn't dare to delay. He immediately ordered his men to replace the officials and rushed to Xiaowang Village.
Back in Linzi County, Han Zhen and his party went straight to the original mansion.
Although he moved to Yidu, Jiang Siniang and Fang Sansan still lived here.
In order to ensure that the secret recipe of gunpowder is not leaked, three shifts of supplementary officers patrol the area around the mansion day and night. Once a suspicious person is found, they can be captured without any reason.
Not long after, Lu Jiu was brought here.
"Meet the county magistrate."
Entering the study, Lu Jiu bowed.
Seeing a package in his arms, Han Zhen said expectantly: "But has there been progress in cement?"
Hearing this, Lu Jiu nodded and said: "Thank you to the county magistrate, there has indeed been progress. Last year, the county magistrate told me that iron powder would be added to the raw materials, and I have been experimenting with the ratio of iron powder. A while ago, I finally After finding the right proportion, the fired cement will be as solid as a rock after solidification, especially after it is mixed with gravel, it can withstand dozens of hammer blows."
